The tour celebrates her 80 years of life and 65 years in music, according to a news release.

“Hollywood Joliet is thrilled to host an intimate night with legendary Patti LaBelle. She is a vocal powerhouse, and this is going to be a show you don’t want to miss,” Ruben Warren, vice president and general manager of Hollywood Casino Joliet, said in the news release.
